Yesterday I got a leaflet. Four colour pages, depicting the nice, gay, Lib Dem candidate, whom I would very much like to see as an MP. But the leaflet was a shocker. Sly references to the sitting MP not living in the constituency, three mentions of Iraq, a mendacious promise of a tax cut of “£700 for most people” … “paid for by closing loopholes”, £2.5 billion extra on schools, “green growth and jobs through investment” and then “honesty about the tough choices to cut the deficit”! And if you say that the leaflet shows them to be no different from the others, I say, “exactly”.

He later adds:

So on polling morning, as I walk down the hill to the school, I think the country needs Mr Cameron as PM. I think the country needs a Lib-Dem inspired reform of the electoral system. And I think the country needs a Labour Party that can still be the best hope for social justice at home and progress abroad. I don’t want to see that party, as seems possible, humiliated tonight. So I’ll be voting Labour.
